Hello.

After a recent post about MPG i've been trying to figure mine out.

Can you tell me the capacity of a m40 316i auto?

62 L?

And what mpg BMW think I should get from it?

I'm not helped by a temperamental fuel gauge so do you know how much is left in the tank when the light comes on?

Thanks

Kit

It's more a case of 'I keep an E30 handbook by my computer'!

Hey.

Do you have a PDF of the manuel?

Is it possible to download it from somewhere?

I've had a quick look via google but not much luck with the links on there...

Thanks
